So quiet

The house is so quiet it's almost scary. Christmas is almost here and I've done almost nothing a accent the day. I put up a wreath on the front door. I set up a manikin dressed like a Victorian lady carrying a small basket and knocking at the front door. I placed a four ft. lighted (snow covered) Christmas tree on top of a column beside the front door and stars adorn the tops of the spears of wrought iron railing about the front windows. I did get a rather large poinsettia for a table in the parlor. That's about it. Losing my buddy has really put a damper on the season. But I sincerely hope the rest of you have a grand CHRISTMAS.
